Realizing the gap in educational tools and programs for some time, this initiative is the result of a focused effort of over three years. With the support of the Phoenix Chal- lenge Foundation, a dedicated team of flexo experts, ed- ucators and curriculum designers worked countless hours defining and building a tool that aligns with today’s educa- tional philosophy and programs. The team’s collaboration has delivered a modern, up-to-date, and highly relevant volume to support a strong flexographic curriculum. Flexography in the Classroom now becomes the pre- eminent text for classroom learning, covering the breadth of flexographic printing principles — from prepress and plate-making to substrates, inks, and more — providing students with the foundational knowledge required to suc- ceed in today’s competitive packaging and print market- place. Its adoption sets the book as a core resource and an important tool in the Phoenix Challenge Foundation Educational Tool Box. “This textbook is more than a milestone — it’s a testa- ment to what technical education in our industry can be,” said Bettylyn Krafft, Phoenix Challenge Foundation. “With our Flexography in the Classroom textbook now fully U.S. Copyrighted and woven into Phoenix Challenge Founda- tion programs, students and educators everywhere have a learning resource they can truly trust. “I’m deeply proud of what the team and the achievement represent.” This announcement reflects the Foundation’s broader mission to equip the next generation of print and packag- ing professionals with the tools, knowledge, and creden- tials they need to thrive and join the workforce.
